Eh, I already have something that works probably just as good as that. A print screen button, that little windows key that takes you to you desktop and minimizes the program, and a Paint.NET to save it. And I already have some shots, I'm now in the stage of picking which one!

Sut yourself. But I would give it a try. Its is pertty conveinient.....

Well I hope you didn't resize the contest entry, it's against the rules to even resize them.

Think about it. Unless you run FS at a screen resolution of 1024 (or less) pixel width you would have to resize the shots to meet the forum limits.

I run mine at 1024x768 at all times. keeps my framerate up a bit higher, and it's the forum minimum, and I already have to lower image quality by plenty at just this to get anything on simV.

I run FS at 1440x900x32. I assumed you were allowed to resize but i cant find it in the rules, although im sure it used to say you could resize to get to 1024 and under 150kb!! Undecided

hey, thank you all for the kind words and comments! awsome shots so far in the contest!

as for resizing/screenshot grabbing, I tend to just hit 'V' several hundred times a minute till i get a nice shot Grin

...takes up several gigs of diskspace lol

then just a quick re-size using an old version of photoshop, great JPEG compression without loosing much detail. of corse there is a price to pay... (unless u get it free from college/uni

)

No it isn't. Some people play at 1366x768 like me and I just use BDsizer to get them down to 1024x768 Wink

.
I think you're not allowed to edit, resizing might be fine.
You should talk to a moderator about it Cool

Awesome shot Deano Cool

@ Club508 ............Of course you can re-size your screenshot Roll Eyes

Club, you are going through a lot of trouble to get a screenshot uploaded......the "V" key and a simple freeware program like BDSizer is all you need (BDSizer converts the image to Jpeg automatically when you re-size it). I don't notice hardly any quality drop, even if I re-size down to 109kb

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks chuck for clearing that up. He wouldn't take it from anyone else Cool

How And BTW How comes you mods and admins don't Post in the contest?

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
